He also says he hopes to score 20 goals his season,well you have managed
6 league goals this season James,and with Oxford out Of the Associate members cup,no more shoe ins.
James Constable 32 league goals(all in the bottom Division)

Whatever level Constable has scored his goals at it's still a milestone. He's hardly going around crowing about it. The only comment I've heard from him is that it would be a honour to break the record.
Aldridge was an exceptional striker, one of the best British football has ever seen. I think it's a bit stupid to mock Constable by comparing him to Aldo.

Well done James. He has been a great asset to OUFC at the level we are playing at, as were the other guys in their eras.
If he and Tom get another 17 goals this season, between them, then we will all be very happy.

Players can only score in the league they are playing in so the goals Beano has reached, whilst a good total so far, I suspect he would have scored more if he was playing in a better team where he would recieve better oppotunities to score from his teamates. Remember the likes of John Aldridge had class midfielders laying on the ball for him.
Keep going Beano.

I must admit to not being his biggest fan but his goals tally isn't bad, I would be amazed if he doesn't go on to get the 100 if he stays on next season but he will have to go some to get there this season. The comment that Aldo had better midfielders is quite valid, Graham Atkinson also had better players around him in the main and I believe should have got more, he was one of those players who often looked as if he could have played at a higher level, sadly most of this current squad look as if they are out of their depth at this level and I think it's the reason we don't score more. This will upset a few but my favourite of the top scorers was Tony Jones and also Colin Booth was a good un!

His goals obviously count so many in the non league. Do we know all of the scorers in the pre Southern League days? Nonetheless - very well done with the goal .
Yep he has scored more than so many of our ‘strikers’

Pity that he is nowhere near to the twenty five best striker even in our League Years – is he?

Nonetheless, a goal is a goal whether it is against Norwich or Northwich.

Twenty five better?
Just for starters
Playing in the Conference or 4th division the following would have scored more than James in his number of games - the not too talented midfielder Matt Murphy or the clumsy Steve Biggins, Mark Stein , John Durnin, winger Paul Simpson, the Nigels Cassidy and Jemson, the Deans Saunders and Windass, Hugh Curran, Graham Atkinson, the Aldridges, Paul Moody, Bud Houghton (43 goals in 42 matches as we got into the league) , Tommy Mooney, the Bills Calder and Hamilton, Colin Booth, Derek Clarke, Martin Foyle, Peter Foley, Mick Tait, Mick Vinter , Neil Whatmore and Andy Thomas. Nonetheless, he has probably got even more than Jack Midson might have had he played as the central striker. Many more, please James . Keep up the hard work - some of the above named were lazy at times

Graham Atkinson never played centre forward and was a midfielder for us in what is called the championship for about 4 seasons . Even with our uncreative midfielders (like Heslop) , Graham would have netted far far more than James has at this level (or the non league) - particularly had he been the central striker. Nonetheless , James Constable works very hard and is sometimes over committed (and I am not talking about that last unfair dismissal) - he works harder than Graham did - even when the latter played as a midfielder with chubby brother the Tank (who then wore number 11)

Yep the roller coaster dipped again .... they seem to throw everything but the kitchen sink at us and we are still there.
Its quite usual for the back room staff to follow their manager in most cases or get booted out when the new manager takes over.

Ah. Reading the names from the old days puts Beano's record in perspective. However we are in the league we are in thanks to a certain owner's lack of investment in the team. And his shadow is still looming over the football club as he still owns the stadium.
Also the game has changed a lot since the likes of The aforementioned players from the glory days. The woosie football rules these days ( look nastily at an opponent these days and it's a red card) do the game as a whole no favours as a specticle.Briggsy would not last any game 5 mins today, mores the pity.
So to comapre the present situation and that of years ago is a bit false, given the fact players can hardly make a tackle these days and where we find ourselves thanks to a certain ex-owner.
How about a hat-trick on Saturday Beano? Would be good.

Another thing I'd like to mention about Constable is his work rate. His goals to games ratio is decent but every game, even when things aren't going well, his work rate is 110%. He's one of the old school who always puts in a shift and earns his money and one player who has always been proud to wear the shirt.

wonder what chish and le god think about de canio deserting them in their hour of need. seems that when he doesnt get what he wants he is off like a big kid and hard luck on everyone else including the loyal fans. j wray thanked de canio for his loyalty wheras the opposite seemed to be true, in all his playing career he was petulant and carried it on to his managerial career.

The bloke is an absolutely amazing character and has lifted our club and the fanbase - but there was a downside to him where he'd aired his views in public too much for my liking.
All may become clear one day on the story of the desertion - there's always 2 sides to a disagreement .
50 50 seems to be the opinion on whether he jumped ship because things got nasty, water under the bridge now really we have to regroup and march on -
He has bought in some fantastic players who have jelled together as a unit - but again he did bring in some right donkeys, which we have got rid of or loaned out, which was a waste of money.

Ok. De Canio is unemployed now. Many oufc fans are on here wanting Wilder to go. So how would you feel if Wilder was sacked and De Canio took over?
What a horible thought!

Something you'd need not worry over one little bit MS - Men on Mars is more likely. - think about the reverse is even more frightening CW to STFC - I think the tenure would last hours if not minutes, before he was run out of town and back up the A420

well chish i see that graham westley is also available and im sure he would be a popular choice with you boys up the a420. di canio has been touted as a possible candidate for the leeds job if warnock goes, can you imagine him in tandem with ken bates, the mind boggles!

There seems to be loads out there BC but finding the right one is the difficult bit.
We have in the past and including PDC taken punts on newbies , Lou Macari , Ossi Ardilles Glen Hoddles of the world, this time we can not afford to take that gamble .... just hope we don't get some cheap 'has been' or unheard of bod.

Seems a quiet week for you lot this week - come to Swindon and hop on the roller coaster - hang on to your hats though - never a dull moment with the STFC... ;o)

Sorry BC didn't say anything about that Bates man - yes it could go either way - two strong characters could cancel each other out or it could be Blaster Bates fires PDC within weeks after PDC throws a wobblely.

Can't stand that bloke Bates would not trust him as far as I could throw him.
I thought he'd been bought out at Leeds.

Chish - how I wish you were a United man - (at least recently) you seem a decent guy (no doubt it is not your fault that you got drawn onto the 'dark/red' side) I would have enjoyed a drink with you were I not too old or too boring !! Never again will I waste time trying to wind you up - generally unsuccessfully - this 'forum' needs you . Yep, I anticipate verbal abuse - but more likely, contempt!

Sorry to disappoint Oldun but if you were to cut me in half I'd have STFC through me like a stick of rock.
I'm no spring chicken too.

I will own up, and say my Great Grandfather was born and grew up in Oxford (St Aldgates was/is it) but then moved to London when in his teens.

Good luck mate...

Saint Aldates! How did what you say disappoint me? There must be a good reason why you were drawn to the dark side. Few (if any) who are brought up in Oxford follow STFC - if they are not OUFC fans then they follow much 'bigger' clubs than ours" . I don't need luck - weak people believe in it (William Shankly)
